NASDAQ To Require One Woman And One Minority Or LGBTQ On Company Boards*

*whether or not they're qualified.

[a fool in paradise]

Openly discrminating in hiring and promotions standards.

[JBW1949]

When are the adults going to stand up and say enough is enough???

[joshua c]

Black lesbians are a trifecta. They will rule the world.

[Tax-chick]

I will cheerfully identify as a woman, a minority, or a LBTQUEB - for a reasonable fee - if any corporations would like to put me on their boards.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

So...
1 Woman = 1 Homo

OR

1 Woman = 1 POC

If I were a woman, those equivalencies would really make me angry. On the bright side, they didn’t say...

1 Woman = 3/5 Homo

OR

1 Woman = 3/5 POC

[CodeToad]

Proof that queers and women are inferior since they have to be artificially promoted.

RE: I will cheerfully identify as a woman, a minority, or a LBTQUEB

Ahhh, but they might require you to PROVE the LBTQUEB part.

I wonder if they have a test for that ....

[thescourged1]

I'm ok with this.

Every board needs a designated maker of coffee and fetcher of bagels. For minimum wage, of course.

RE: Every board needs a designated maker of coffee and fetcher of bagels. For minimum wage, of course.

But do they get to make the important decisions? In other words — DO THEY HAVE A VOTE?

[Tax-chick]

If I say I believe I’m a man (a T, that is), there are no other criteria.

[ptsal]

Who knew sex and business were intertwined.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: If I say I believe I’m a man (a T, that is), there are no other criteria.

Won’t they require you to prove it by wearing men’s clothes?

[Jewbacca]

“Black lesbians are a trifecta. They will rule the world.”

Only if also muslim and confined to a wheel chair.

[Jewbacca]

“meaning a director that self-identifies as an underrepresented minority”

I presume “underrepresented” is code for black or Hispanic.

[saintgermaine]

Just for curiosity sake, who are these “BRILLIANT” people who make up these requirements?

[Meatspace]

Will this cause companies to withdraw from NASDAQ?

Probably not.

[blueunicorn6]

Let’s make sure there is at least one female and one homosexual on every ditch digging crew, too.

[thescourged1]

The can vote on what roast to use that day.

Yeah, I'm engaging in snark, sort of. The just need to rubber-room any tokens that are forced down their throats.
